Published on: August 29, 2013
Abstract:
Problems of old age in Nepal are examined using census data and field reports. The paper is organized in three parts. "The first part gives a demographic sketch [of the aged in Nepal]...along with a short discussion of the economy....Next, a brief account of...cultural and social values is given. Finally, the question of old age is reviewed in light of social changes taking place in Nepal's urban centres, and their implications for policy and planning."

Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
